Police were called to the home after a woman said she heard someone at her garage door and glass breaking. While deputies were in route, the woman told Lincoln County Communications that the man was now inside the home with her and her large dog.

Upon arriving, deputies spotted the man by a fence outside the home. Police allege when Gladden was told to lie down, he shouted an obscenity at police. A second deputy assisted in arresting him.

According to police, Gladden told them he was out walking at 5:30 a.m. and was cutting across the woman’s yard to get home. He claimed the glass the woman heard break happened when he threw a rock at a dog that had attacked him.

Police located the broken window and discovered shoe prints on the garage door.
